Whito correction pen

Hi

We call it whito correction pen (almost always shortened as whito) where we live and use it like this.

The students were told not to use whito.

Could you please tell me what you call it where you live and how you use it in your sentence?

Thanks,

Tom

I must confess I had forgotten how the brand name was spelled. There is another brand of the paint-on stuff called "Liquid Pape
